Unfortunately, she is not yet that into jazz, and I am not myself educated enough to give her proper introduction to the material. All that being said, my little sister also just had her first born son on September 23rd. So I have a wife and a nephew both born on the 23rd. It is quite a special day, indeed.BJShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05326277125704522469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14410967.post-1127801724098174842005-09-27T00:15:00.000-06:002005-09-27T00:15:00.000-06:00I meant to say, "Yet his music remains."

I lament that Coltrane's theology was so mixed up, however. Toward the end he was even taking LSD and chanting Ohm. Very sad.
